I am trying to convert a physical Windows 8.1 Acer laptop to a HyperV VM.
I get through the process up until it wants to know the destination for where I want the virtual machine to go, and because this is in a home situation without a network, I would like the process to write the file to an attached USB drive so that upon completion, I can plug that USB drive into the new Windows10 PC and import it into HyperV which is running on that destination machine.
Except the process presents me with several options to networked destinations, such as the location on the network of the HyperV server, plus a 'greyed out' "Save to File", and it is this of course that option that would allow it to write to the file location of my choice.
Such a frustration to get to this far and find that the "file" option is there but non-functional.
Anyone have any idea why it should not be working?
